Leaf Cutter Ants collect leaves to sustain a colony of mold that they farm, and upon which, they feed. That ant will soon starve to death without the support of it’s colony. Unless of course, it is sponsored by Costa, which as I can see by the ad to the left of this reply, this post certainly is.

I tried to purchase a VW recently. Used models are as much as the new ones and the dealers ranged from nice but somewhat clueless, to completely, woefully inept. Any company that takes a credit app, full contact information, complete trade in information and a request for a specific inventory item and then ignores…

No opinion on the item, but the theory of waking to light is pretty awesome. I started to use one on a doctor’s suggestion to help fight insomnia, and I can say that it does work.

That’s all well and good for getting the college kids home from the bars, but there are only about 12,000 people who actually live in downtown Pittsburgh. The majority of Pittsburghers live out in the suburbs, in subdivision plans so confusing that people have been lost for weeks out there. Add in all the hills,…

How do you get past first-grade english and still write/talk like that? (The lady who posted, not David Tracy) My four year old can write a more coherent sentence!

The Raptor is too big, too loud, too unpractical and too powerful to be a daily-driven vehicle. I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!

The Lotus Elise fucking nails it. Bare aluminum with some simple to remove/clean floor mats. I would argue for no seams at all, one stamping for the entire floor, sills and tunnel. I want no places for crumbs to live.

Look, racing is expensive and sometimes you have to break bad if you want to race. We preferred the US cigs better anyway, eh?

A lot of autocrossers run magnetic numbers, and after the race, stick them under the trunk lid for safekeeping.

GM has made such huge strides with this latest generation of the Camaro, making it a legitimate all-round sports car that COULD compete with the best of the world...were it not for the 180 metric tons of leftover Pontiac plastic crap they tacked onto the nose. WTF Ed? How did you green light that monstrosity? Here,…

I ride a Yamaha V-Star 950 Touring model, a big heavy cruiser. It weighs 657 pounds, a little more with all fluids, but still less than he benched.

Great read! I recently drove a ‘95 Cherokee with 125,000 miles on the clock from Florida to Pennsylvania. It had been driven only once a year for the past 8 years or so, and who knows before that. I expected lots of road-side breakdowns along the way, with duct tape and bailing wire repairs.

To my surprise, it…

Having owned several 1978 domestic cars, including an Impala Coupe, Sedan and Wagon, and a Cordoba, and having never driven or even been inside the Mercedes, I can confidently say that they Merc was much better.

It’s not my cup of tea, but seriously Chevy, talk to the folks that made the Cobalt SS and get a turbo on that thing and you would have a serious Fiesta ST competitor.

As a marketing person, I must say “BRAVO” to Ryan Brown Racing for putting their name up front, and their URL on the video. The video is engaging enough to be viral and the brand promotion is not so overdone as to prevent it from going viral. Good job. If I had a nickel for every wasted opportunity I see out there on…

Meh. The styling was perfect already and who cares what it is named? A Fiesta ST still has the same HP and WAY more torque and handles as well...with 4 doors and a hatch, for less money.

This car needs 2 things: A factory performance wheel/tire option (the first thing most people do anyway) and a turbo option with…

Ken Block has spawned a whole genre of imitators, from trophy trucks to snowmobiles. Yes, they are becoming a bit forced and nothing more than excuses to go out and do some cool tricks. I for one don’t care, because I want to see anything with a motor tear it up. Bring on the scooters!

I met him last year at Road Atlanta, at breakfast at the hotel we were both staying in. (Chateau Elan, great place BTW) He was very focused, serious about racing and not a prick at all. He was also very talented behind the wheel, I am sorry to hear that he is leaving it behind.

What I have not seen is a argument for specific performances by black actors in this year’s Oscar race. There is outrage that no black actors were nominated, but where is the supporting evidence that some SHOULD have been nominated? There were plenty of performances that deserved to be included on the list...they…

Have you seen the inside of the latest Kia Sedona? The thing is a pimped-out limo inside and costs $50K! I think the new Genesis brand needs to add a lux version to their lineup. Why not? A minivan may tarnish the reputation over at BMW, but as a new luxury brand you have nothing to loose and may corner the market on…
